chambering. A collector might pay more, but you have to wait on them to find you. Many a hunter will never bother to look past the chambering. BEFORE 2008 these brought $900 or so. The economy seems to have diminished collector interest in any but the finest examples of anything.

Savage 99 Value?

I'm trying to fine tune the value of one of my Savage 99's. I'm buying a couple of other "toys" so I need to get rid of at least one, and coming up with an accurate value will help me decide what should go.

The rifle is a Savage 99 EG in 300 Savage and of mid 1950's vintage. It is essentially new condition and it looks like hadn't been used or fired until I bought it 20 years ago. No dings, no blueing wear, just like it came out of a time warp. I added a new Lyman 30 1/2 tang sight to it (even still have the new box for the Lyman tang sight). These tang sights seem to sell for $200 just by themselves. I put 30 rounds through it and then it became a safe queen....

It's the only 300 Savage that I have, so it's a logical choice to go....

Anyway, I'd appreciate your opinions on what it's worth.

Thanks!!!!
